i have a friend who was raped and is now going threw post termatic stress and depresion what can i do as a friend to help. thank you
It is sad to learn about your friend's situation. What you can do is listen, provide support, and offer referral to a local rape crisis center. The links below can provide you with a place to start for referrals and online help.If your friend has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), I recommend a psychiatric evaluation.
